Ordinarily the extras stuffed onto retail versions of movies are limited to director's commentaries or deleted scenes, but Sony are trying a new strategy for the UMD version of the movie Stealth. As well as the movie, the disc will include "WipeOut Pure: Stealth Edition", a shortened version of the game that features a special "Stealth" track not found on the normal version of the game.GameSpot report that this marks the first time the UMD format has seen a game/movie combo on one disc:
Dubbed "Wipeout Pure: Stealth Edition," the truncated game will be on the same UMD as the film, a first for the format. The UMD will also include the PSP 2.0 firmware upgrade, which installs an Internet browser on the portable multimedia device/game deck.
Unfortunately, those hoping to get both Stealth and Wipeout Pure: Stealth Edition at a bargain price are out of luck. The disc will retail for $39.95, which is more than the $19.95-$29.95 MSRP for UMD movies but less than most UMD games, which typically sell for $49.99.
